Re: Time for a "Replace Clip" button?

There's already a Replace edit command in MC, its button used to sit in the Composer window, between the Splice in and the Overwrite button, its place has been stolen by the Tool palette button long ago. Time to revive and improve it, in a 'multi effects friendly' fashion (or to redesign the way MC handles effects!).

Re: Time for a "Replace Clip" button?

I often layer up effects on the tracks above my source clips (like adjustment layers) so i can replace the source without digging down through nested layers but it is a faff (you have to add edits to all the filler tracks above before applying fx). This also helps out when avids getting confused about which effects to render and you end up manually rendering each one

PS you mention audio suite - is there a way to layer audio suite clip effects that i've been missing all this time?

You've been missing it for a short while, nested audio suite effects is a recent addition. You can apply an audio suite effect, step into it and apply another one; I don't remeber how many of them You can add though.
